Startup Labs, a global co-investment program for tech startups that
focuses on emerging markets, is excited to announce an upcoming trip to
the Philippines. The trip is scheduled for early February and the local
investment group will be listening to startups’ pitches in Manila to
explore and invest.

Investment partners that will be evaluating opportunities with Startup
Labs in Philippines include IdeaSpace, Siemer & Associates, ICCP Venture
Partners and local angels. Startup Labs travels to emerging markets to
discover the most promising early stage tech startups, invest in them
with local investors, and explore various cross-border opportunities.
Startup Labs gathers and empowers local investors to create the funding
startups need in order to take advantage of growth opportunities in
emerging economies and also create and attract a strong deal flow.

Startup Labs also builds strategic alliances with prominent businesses
in each region, as well as meeting with key influencers in the area who
are driving innovation. Startup Labs portfolio companies have access to
these influencers, learn about growth markets, challenges, and
opportunities, as well as exploring cross-border expansion
opportunities. For 2013, Startup Labs has plans to visit over 25 cities
on four continents and gather at least 100 local investors together to
invest in +125 startups around the world.

The deadline for registering for the Philippine program is January 20th
and the pitching sessions are scheduled for the first week of February.

Startup Labs Director, Tugce Ergul, had this to say, “I am very excited
to be bringing Startup Labs to Philippines. I find Philippines to be a
very exciting market with a lot of potential especially once the entire
ecosystem and investors are aligned. We will be mixing the local
investors’ expertise with a global Silicon Valley and the Philippine
context. The ecosystem is very young and there’s a lot of market
fragmentation but this only makes things more exciting for us.”

Startup Labs focuses mainly on emerging markets and co-invests with the
top local investors in respective markets while operating
post-investment bootcamps with top mentors. They enable companies to
succeed in ways other venture firms do not by building a global platform
for all teams and investors. Their goal is to help early stage startups
succeed and accelerate their growth with capital and support from
influencers.
